Sessions
Leuven 2016
The research group on the Book of Proverbs will conduct two sessions at the 2016 meeting. The first will consist of invited papers on the relationship between different sections of the book of Proverbs and whether these diverse collections hold together in a unified way and what “unified” may signify if this is the case.
The second session is open to submissions and addresses the relationship between concepts, maxims and instructions in Proverbs and key Qumran texts, notably Instruction or Musar le-Mevin (4Q415-4Q418, 4Q423), Mysteries (1Q27; 4Q299-4Q301), Beatitudes (4Q525), “Wiles of the Wicked Woman” (4Q184), and others like 4Q185, 4Q424-4Q426.
